1. military aid
john ,   toronto   (08.16.13)
It is inexcusable that the US will continue military aid after so much bloodshed by the military. Military aid must be stopped till Egypt stops its violence.
2. weird
JS ,   USA   (08.16.13)
The fact of the matter is that most Americans and people in general dont mind the idea of extreme islamists being cracked down on hard. Not suprising considering thier own actions. I cant figure out why the current US executive is standing behind morsi and by extension the mb. While the legislative is behind sisi.
3. West should stay out; Obama should keep quiet
CJK   (08.16.13)
the meddling in egypt only infuriates all sides in egypt and undermines any little influence left to the west.
4. Russia,Saudi's and el-Sisi cleaning house
shachalnur ,   mexico   (08.16.13)
Saudi Bandar went to Moscow to fine-tune Egypt issua. el-Sisi won't take orders from US/Europe,financially backed by Saudi's and militarily by Russia. The middle East (including Israel)are liberating themselves from Rothschild control. Do not disturb.
5. Supporting terrorists
Kariem Afifi ,   Cairo,Egypt   (08.16.13)
If anybody here knows arabic, he can clearly see that the Egyptian police keep saying get out for your safety and don't use any violence. Also in the last video the burned down a government building and those people are trying stop the fire and they keep saying those Muslim brotherhood Jews. People supporting morsy are less than 5% of Egyptian's population but they keep shooting people, killing them, burning government buildings, burning churches and mosques. Watch out people you´re supporting terrorists and I think if any country some terrorists are doing this the military and the police will at least kill them all!! So we don´t need anybody to talk about us. Say something good, say the truth or just shut up.
6. 5 we are with the people of egypt
CJK   (08.16.13)
the people of egypt deserve freedom and well being. we support them against the medieval totalitarian brotherhood.
7. You think its bad now?
ilan ,   Ramat Gan   (08.16.13)
What would have happened if the army waited a few more days was the the brotherhood would be more entrenched in where they were, armed to the teeth, like any good terrorist is, and worst of all, lured children to join the sit ins as typical Arab human shields!
8. Egypt needs a constitutional monarchy
zionist forever   (08.16.13)
A figurehead who is above all politics, with no political opinions. In times of national emergency the monarch could step in and run the country which would stop any power grabs or control crooked government The military are the reason all this happened. They don't like Morsi because he took power they gave themselves after Mubaralk was toppled. Morsi made himself unpopular by not delivering on the economy and keeping powers he took from the military so the military took advantage of public anger and carried out a a coup and installed a hand picked interim civilian government ( people they want ). The MB & their supporters rose up demanding Morsi be reinstated which led to minor uprising the military tried to put down and which eventually led to this. When things do calm the Egyptians should find an unemployed prince and make him king of Egypt.
